But, it can also do much greater good.Manyang Kher is one of the so-called Lost Boys of Sudan-the 20, 000 young Sudanese who escaped from their villages and made the 1, 600-kilometer walk to Ethiopia. Kher li
18、ved in a refugee camp in Ethiopias Gambella region for 13 years. When he was 16, Kher came to America: While he was in college in Virginia, he started Humanity Helping Sudan to raise awareness of the refugees. Today, Kher is the owner and founder of a coffee company called 734. It is part of his lar
19、ger Humanity Helping Sudan project. The coffee companys name is meaningful. It comes from the geographical coordinates(坐标) of the Gambella area: 7 degrees north and 34 degrees east.Eighty percent of Khers profits from 734 go towards the refugees. Profits go towards buying school supplies and sending
20、 more of the children to school. And, as Kher explains, the money helps refugees help themselves. A cup of the coffee, for example, can buy one fishing net for a refugee. They can come to the river and fish for themselves.Kher operates 734 Coffee from two warehouses in Virginia. But the coffee beans
21、 come from African farms in Gambella. The beans are roasted by local coffee roasters in the US. Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores. Megan Murphy owns a bakery near Washington. She serves the coffee to her customers. The customers love it, she says. Whenever they find out about the pro
22、ject, they connect right with it. The coffee tastes delicious, so its a win-win for both sides. You get to enjoy coffee and at the same time be part of the bigger project.25. What does 734 Coffees name reflect?A. The companys coffee sales. B. The coffees reasonable price.C. The process of making cof

24、nity Helping SudanC.734 Coffee: a win-win choice D. Manyang Kher: a Sudanese Lost BoyCKamikatsu, a small town in Japan, has shown the world that our garbage has far-reaching effects, and not just on our environment.The experiment in going zero waste started when the town built a new incinerator 20 y
25、ears ago. But almost immediately, the incinerator was determined to be a health risk due to the poisonous gases when garbage was burned in it. It was too expensive to send waste to other towns, so locals had to come up with a new plan. Then the Zero Waste Academy was born, which helped perform this
26、plan.Now Kamikatsu people separate their waste into 45 different categories. But in the beginning, it wasnt easy to convince local people to do all this work, and there was some pushback. Only after that initial education period did most residents come on board.This is all great news for waste reduc
27、tion of course, but it has also had some unexpected social benefits as well. Like much of Japan, Kamikatsus population is aging, and about 50 percent of the locals are elderly. The fact that the whole community takes their trash in to be recycled has created a local action and interaction between ge
28、nerations.That idea has been purposefully expanded to include a circular shop where household goods are dropped off and others can take them, and a tableware library where people can borrow extra cups, glasses, silverware and plates for celebrations.The elderly see this not as a waste-collection ser
29、vice, but an opportunity to socialize with the younger generation and to chat. When we visit them, they prepare lots of food and we stay with them for a while, we ask how they are, Sakano, the founder of the Zero Waste Academy, said.Sakanos ideas are truly revolutionary if you think about it.

Why garbage sorting is necessary in Japan.C. How the idea of zero waste was put forward.D. What the Zero Waste Academ
31、y functions as.29. What does the underlined word pushback probably mean?A. Inactive response. B. Generous reward. C. Bitter suffering. D. Beneficial guidance.30. What is a bonus of the zero waste project?A. Reducing waste. B. Creating community.C. Increasing peoples income. D. Developing a new techn
32、ology.31. Which part of a newspaper is this text most likely from?A. Technology. B. Health. C. Workplace. D. Lifestyle.DSalad plants have already been grown in old shelters and tunnels. Urban farming is a regular topic of interest at places like the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where leaders
33、 consider whether the worlds food system, blamed for causing both obesity and malnutrition, can be fixed. There are already plenty of urban farming projects around the world, particularly in the US, Japan and the Netherlands, from urban fish and plant farms to vertical farming.Its becoming an expand
34、ing industry,said Richard Ballard, one of the founders of the farm Growing Underground. Therere several other businesses starting up in London in containers, and there are other vertical farms around the country now.Growing Underground is not a standard farm. The rows of crops could be in almost any
35、 tunnel, but these plants are 100 feet below Clapham High Street and show that urban agriculture is, in some cases at least, not a fad. The underground farm has occupied a part of the Second World War air-raid shelters for nearly five years, and Ballard is planning to expand into the rest of the spa
36、ce later this year.Growing Underground supplies herb and salad mixes to grocery shops, supermarkets and restaurants. Being in London creates an advantage, Ballard says, as they can harvest and deliver in an hour.He adds other advantages. Being underground means temperatures never go below 15 surface
37、 greenhouses need to be heated. They can do more harvests: 60 crops a year, compared with about seven in a traditional farm. Electricity to power the lights is a major cost, but the company believes renewable energy will become cheaper.Similar British companies include the Jones Food Company in Linc
38、olnshire, while in the US AeroFarms has several projects in New Jersey, and Edenworks in Brooklyn.32. What do we know about urban farming?A. It leads to a healthier lifestyle. B.

39、3. Which of the following best explains a fad underlined in Paragraph 3?A. A dream thats easy to realize. B.A field controlled for a long time.C. An approach to a serious problem. D. A fashion thats popular for a short time.34. What can we learn about l the underground farm?A. It is more productive
40、than a traditional farm. B. It provides food directly to the customers.C. Its major products are herbs and salads. D. It uses less energy than a greenhouse.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Current food system causes health problemsB. Growing Underground attracts more peopleC. Traditi

Last year, the English exams were on Wednesday, the math exams on Thursday, and the history exams were held on Friday. This year the
88、 teachers have agreed, after listening to students suggestions, to switch the dates of the math and history exams. As for the places, please check the message board in the main hall, or ask your teachers for a schedule. Tomorrow, we will have a special guest coming to visit us just before our Christ
89、mas concert. As you know, one of our previous graduates won a gold medal in the last Olympics. He will be here to sign shirts and take pictures with students after an introduction by our P.E. teacher. Finally, the headmaster asks you to remind your parents to get here early for the concert. Although there will be enough seating in the gym, the parking lot gets full very quickly. Thats all for the announcements. Have a good week, everyone!
